In today’s episode, we’re talking about something new in the world of search. OpenAI has introduced SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine, and we’re looking at how that affects your visibility online.
Now ChatGPT pulls in fresh, up-to-date information from the web.
ChatGPT is stepping up its game by integrating real-time web search into its platform. So, now when you ask ChatGPT a question, it’s not just going to give you a general response from its knowledge—it’s going to pull in fresh, up-to-date information from the web. That could be news updates, stock quotes, sports scores, or any other real-time data.
Better Conversation with ChatGPT
ChatGPT uses this search feature to enhance the conversation. For example, if you ask about the latest Apple stock price, ChatGPT will show you an interactive graph with the stock’s performance, along with links to the original sources. You can even drill down further by asking follow-up questions to get more specific results. It’s like having a personalized search engine right inside your chat!
This new search feature is powered by a mix of search technologies, including Microsoft’s Bing. So, whether you’re asking for restaurant recommendations or the latest news, ChatGPT now gives you relevant results, sourced directly from the web. If you’re a paid subscriber, you can start using this feature today. Free users, don’t worry — you’ll be able to access it in the coming weeks.
Make Sure Your Business is Found
Now, this is important for business owners and marketers, so listen up: if you want to take full advantage of this, it’s essential to make sure your business is properly indexed online. And while most people focus on Google, it’s time to check your presence on Bing since ChatGPT is using it to pull in real-time data.
If you want to take full advantage of this, it’s essential to make sure your business is properly indexed online.
Bing is a powerful search engine, and claiming your business listing there is a must. The good news is, it’s easy to do. You can start by claiming your existing listing — or add a new one if it’s not there yet.
Once you’ve claimed your listing, it’s time to complete your profile. Add your business hours, services, photos, and other important details that make your business stand out. The more complete your profile, the better. Just like with your Google Business Profile.
Don’t forget to verify your listing and protect your business information online.
Don’t forget to verify your listing! This protects your business from unauthorized changes and ensures your information is accurate across the web.
Once you’ve done that head over to bing.com/webmasters, which is Bing’s version of Google’s Search Console to see how your site is indexed in Bing. Monitoring your presence in Bing is one way to ensure you are found in ChatGPT’s search. As AI-powered search continues to grow, this is an easy step to get ahead of the competition.
